Path for Multilingual subtitled videos

[dePassage66]

Hi to all,

Is there a special path to say to PNVR when translating into PoEdit ?

As you can see on the screenshoot, I use the assets folder and a prefix en_, es_, de_, in front of the right file to use but when I test in english or spanish, I always get the french vidéos without subtitles!

Any idea what I did wrong would be much appreciated:-)

Hi Jean-Paul,
Will need more information on how you are opening the videos.
Is it from a point hotspot or a button.

Hi Hopki,

I think it's both because on the first screenshoot I would say it's a button,

but on the second one, I would say it's a hotspot...

Am I right about that ?

Hi Jean-Paul,
To make this work with a button you would use a Text Variable in the skin with the video file name, short_tb.mp4
In the Set Value action to set the video to the video element, it has action that on Mouse Click, Set Vale, assets/$(*video), target Video 1.
The placeholder $(*video) is the variables placeholder.

Please see the attached project.
In the skin POT file you will see the video file, short_tb.mp4, and the German language it is short_ufo.mp4 , as the Variable Value is in the POT file, you can swap out the video depending on language.

In Node Two there is a Video Popup which is also working.
Note that there is only one entry for short_tb.mp3 as the same file is used for the pinned video in node1 and the popup video in node2

Thanks Hopki, I look at your example tomorrow, work on it and let you know.

Hi Hopki,

In your example (which I don't understand completely, sorry!) there are two variables (r) and (hu) that I don't see in the skin's variables table.
See below:

And the variables (r) and (hu) which I don't know what they correspond to but I suppose they are internal variables in the program...

Furthermore, I don't see any differences between your translation file and mine except that I use an "assets" directory and you don't (see below)

and when you say that it is the translation file that has the variable, I see that it works very well with your example, but not at all with mine and that saddens me because I don't understand why! ;-(

Best regards, Jean-Paul

Hi Jean-Paul,
Pinned videos and videos added a video point hotspots will be exposed in the Translation POT file, so using PoEdit you can just select the video it should play when using a different language.

The harder one to make work was the two buttons that play and stop the video.
In the skin, when using a Set Value action, this is not being exposed in the skin's translation file.

So what you need to.do is add a text variable to the skin, in the project it's called: video, and the text is, short_tb.mp4.
This gets exposed in the skins translation file, so when German is selected, it swaps it to, short_ufo.mp4

The variable has the placeholder $(*video), with the placeholder being the file name of the video.
So the Play Button has the action to set the value assets/$(*video) to the video 1 element.

Regards,
